Guerlain Rouge Automatique Lipstick 143 Nahema

Guerlain Nahema Lipstick

Guerlain Rouge Automatique Lipstick in Nahema (143)
Mall Price: P2200.00
Available: Guerlain Counters in Rustan's Dept. Store
Finish: Glossy sheen

So, when hubby's on his 2 day travel to come home, 

he had 4 plane flights and 3 duty free stores along the way. 

I was keen on not asking for anything, saying, 

I'll just have my shopping list ready when he's home, 

and we'd buy at the mall. I missed mall make up shopping. 

So when he asked his sister to call me and wake me up at 1am for duty free 'pasalubong', 

I was not prepared! 

My SOP when I want something is I'd give him the exact name 

of the make up or perfume that I want, 

exact location of where he could find it, 

down to which floor and what other stores are nearby so he can easily locate it.

I was a little groggy and I just asked for MAC and a Killer Queen perfume 

but both are not available. 

I asked him to tell me what make up counters he see, and alas, there's Guerlain! 

I was a little hesitant but asked for 142 rouge automatique and of course, 

as it is one of the best sellers, 

it's not available. With a hefty price tag, I told him I'd just buy MAC since 

1 guerlain lippy would be 2 and 1/2 of MAC haha! 

But he insisted, so what could a weak lipstick girl like me can do but to oblige. 

Asked him to buy just 1, as it will be my most expensive lipstick.

Boy, it felt like christmas when DH handed me the 3piece pack of Guerlain lipstick.

All the pretty colors!

The 3 piece pack came with a La Petite Robe Noire Eau De Toilette 5mlsampler. 

The bottle is so simple but nice, with a little black dress. Hmm aren't LBD a Chanel thing? 

It has a strong cherry smell, young, fun and sweet! 

Definitely want to have a bigger bottle in the future! :)

That was a long intro, on with the nahema review; I love this lipstick! 

Found another brand I could obsess about.

 The luxurious gold case has a slide mechanism making this lipstick 

truly a one hand application ordeal.

This Guerlain lippy doesn't come with a separate cap, 

but the square top opens to reveal the lipstick as it slide up. 

How lovely is that!? Even G, approve, she asked several times to play with it, 

I draw the line at 3 tries haha!

Nahema is a lovely pink-coral with a glossy sheen finish and shimmer. 

What have stopped me from buying this lippy is it's price but I'm glad that finally, 

I get to have a Guerlain. Though it's a splurge, it definitely pay off. 

It is a beautiful color for the summer, 

it looks fresh and feels lightweight when applied. 

This moisturizes my lips big time. It glides beautifully without a problem. 

Although the coverage is not as opaque as MAC's, it is in a different league, 

Nahema is more on the softer, muted side, it leaves my lips moisturized for 4 hours.

 Not a long staying lippy but, reapplying is just a s fun!

On my lips on its own, without a liner or balm.

Nahema have a very nice pigment though it doesn't mask the whole color of your lips. 

With 3 glide application, it gives a very fresh coral coverage. 

I love this lipstick to pieces, especially that it's a gift from hubby ;) 

I certainly have trained him well to buy the good stuff! LOL

Would you splurge for a lippy?

'Til then!

MAC Pink Pigeon

MAC Iris Apfel Collection in Pink Pigeon 

MAC PINK PIGEON
Price: around Php1000
Available in MAC counters: SM MOA, New Eastwood Mall, Trinoma, 
Glorietta 2, Powerplant Mall, Ayala Center Cebu
Finish: Matte

MAC Pink Pigeon is a part of the MAC Iris Apfel collection.

Pink Pigeon, 2nd from right.

As described, Pink Pigeon is a bright cleanest pink. 

It is blue based.

I like blue based lipstick, they certainly flatter. 
One of which I love is the limited edition MAC Pink Pigeon.

As it is limited, it is mostly out of stock in malls as they are snapped up fast especially in such a pretty color. Good thing, I got mine reserved from a trusted supplier. 

I've had Pink Pigeon for a few months now and I've been using it non stop.  

It is my 2nd favorite pink lipstick, next to Girl About Town.

It is very pigmented and 2 swipes, your lips would be screaming 'hot pink'. 

But as other MAC lipstick, it is still very flattering.

I guess, this color is best for those who are fair skinned.

Another thing I love about it is it gives different color depending on the light. 

Because it's a matte finish, it could be drying at times. BUT it doesn't drag when applied.
Because it stays for a god 5-6 hours, you'd be left with flaky lips 

if you don't exfoliate and moisturize your lips well.

Although it doesn't feel dry or heavy.

2 swipes and it is a pretty color like in the tube

I think this color is the brightest I got in my stash. 

It is near to Candy Yum Yum's pigment, but a notch less brighter.

So, when I'll have Candy Yum Yum, it will reign as the brightest on my lipstick collection!

1 swipe of pink pigeon on outdoor light

Pros:

1. Very pigmented. Even and vivid coverage with one application.

2. Doesn't drag when applied despite the matte finish.

3. Lasts long. Will last for hours, minimal fading, little to no retouching for hours; thus

4. Ok price for a high quality cosmetic.

5. Vanilla smell, yum!

Cons:

1. Availability as it is limited.

Til then, lovelies!

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter Peach Parfait

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Peach Parfait
Price: Php525
Available: Revlon Counters at leading malls

One of hubby's 'pasalubong' when he came home from months long of work, 

already reviewed the others here and here.

This is the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Peach Parfait.

As you can see, I already nicked the top of the lippy.
It is due to my complain from the previous Candy Apple post.

a swipe of Peach Parfait

3 swipes of Peach Parfait

The color's beautiful from the tube, peachy brown with glitter.

Had high hopes on this one, however, when I tried it after reapplying, 

at the end of the day, I was left with glittery lips after the color wore off.  

A very sheer color on my lips. Aside from the glittery feel on my lips, this is a perfect 

lippie for me for a no makeup look. I already have a slight pigment on my lips
so it is a perfect way to enhance it without the use of loud color.

But I wouldn't wear this often, I think I'd do if I'm still a sweet 16 :) .
Good to wear to the beach or a plunge in the pool.

Pros:

1. Nice sheer color, buildable.

2. Completely odorless.

3. Last a good 4hours.

4. Cap is color coordinated with lipstick color.

5. Comes cheap.

Cons:

1.Tends to make my lips dry (maybe because of the glitters).

2. Far more glitter than necessary. 

3.There isn't much product in the tube.

4. Hard to open tube.

If you want a barely there lipstick with hint of glitter, an ok pick but I wouldn't repurchase.

Although with 20 available colors the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter line, 

surely one or two would catch your fancy ;)!

Happy shopping for it, ladies!

XOXO

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter Candy Apple

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Candy Apple
Price: Php525
Available: Revlon Counters at leading malls

I've had this baby at the same time that hubby got me Enchanted Perfume
(that was 7months ago hahaha!) but only get to  open the tubes just now.
Ops! Forgot about them since I was preoccupied with my fave MAC lippies.

Hubby bought the Candy Apple and Peach Parfait.

Checking out the Candy Apple first

Candy Apple is a beautiful soft red in the tube.
I think this shade of red is safe for those who are afraid of 

pigmented red and bright colors on their lips.
This color's not as pigmented as Red Velvet which I originally asked from 

hubby to buy but was out of stock. Revlon Colorburst Lipbutter's availbale in 20 shades.

single swipe of Candy Apple

Candy Apple felt like a lipstick with lipbalm and gloss, very moisturizing. 

Very Sheer, thus buildable. This is nice for those days that 

I want to wear red which doesn't shout 'look at me red'.

Almost the same color as in the tube after 3 swipes.

2 swipes of Candy Apple

I like this lipstick since it is very moisturizing, can wear it everyday without the drying feel.

It is cheaper too for Php525.00 each pop.

If you want something which is not too loud, afraid of look at me colors, certainly a good buy.

But if it is pigment you're after, this is a no go.

Pros:

1. Moisturizing. Glides smoothly when applied.

2. Last a good 4 hours (depending on eat/drink habit).
    But gloss like sheen fades after a couple of hours.
3. Completely odorless.

4. Cap is color coordinated with lipstick color.
5. Comes cheap.

Cons:

1. There isn't much product in the tube.
2. A pain to open the tube.

I guess this was the reason I didn't open these babies in the first place, I just can't open them fast!
Would I repurchase? Guess not. I'm not that crazy in love with the color to sacrifice the ease of using it. I already nicked Candy Apple. But I'm still practicing how to open this one nice and smooth. Maybe, I'll have the SA teach me how to do it. :)

Ciao, ladies!

XOXO
